hi all,

My question is How to Choose a Directory for Submission?

i know that know one bother about directory while submission, because we are getting one way link from them. But quality of links matter than quantity.

1) Find out if the directory is indexed by the topmost search engines. If it has not been cached by search engines for a long period of time, there is definitely no point in submitting your links on it.

2)Established, popular directories can bring in traffic and also the kind of back links that'll actually foster your site's optimisation process.

or use a quality services who did that extremely time consuming work already

if you do all that research for just 1 site, you're totally wasting your time !

short summary of your article; don't submit to bad directories ... really?

but that's just the short summary,
1) you miss out a lot of other important factors to check for
2) you don't give any tips how to check for it

my conclusion; totally worthless article, obviously only written to spam forums with it

It's not good to add your link to any page that has a lower amount of visitors than yours or that doesn't have the same content as yours. Some sites may also spam etc. and may give your site a bad influence in the Search Engine rankings...

In general I'd say most web directories are pretty useless except for a handful of top ones.
